Mao

Mao are a reclusive people who enjoy a quiet simple and slow life style, often avoiding interaction with other races. However, as each Mao possess a specific feline trait, some have an innate curiosity that compells them to travel and seek out stories, artifacts, new experiences and knowledge, never remaining in the same place or obsessing over the same piece of lore for too long. They are also fearlessly loyal and therefore many take up the defence of the city or town they live.   In general, Mao do not care for wealth, but they have an almost obsessive interest in ancient artifacts, relics and magic items, not for the items themselves as much as the stories and secrets they held. Once an item had been thoroughly examined and studied, and its secrets revealed, it looses its allure and the Mao will quickly lose interest and pass it on.

Mao are not competent swimmers and tend to prefer dryer climates as they do not enjoy being wet. They are however skilled climbers and speedy runners. They also have a good sense of balance and acute sense of smell, making fearless hunters and rangers.
